Hi ho, hi ho!

We drove the north side of the St. Lawrence today. The colours are spectacular! We also encountered high hills that were so steep that they kicked the mh out of cruise control and I had to push the accelerator to move along. Driving is a dream as one moves through the colours. This is hillside full of colour and around the corner there are more hillsides full of colour. The St. Lawrence is spectacular too, and not just when it meets with the beautiful landscape.

Tonight we are in Riviere de Loup on the south side after an hours ferry ride across the big river. The crossing was very easy and took just over an hour. The ferry backs into the jetty at each side. We caught the last crossing today at 5:15 and saw the sun set as we neared the south shore. The river is a great locater as it runs E and W. I will be lost once we leave the river.

There is a neat Christmas store across from our campsite. What to do? It does not open until noon as tomorrow is Sunday and it is on after summer hours. So what do you think we should do--go or stay in see it. It has a castle appearance with a moat type entrance with a huge Santa standing on the bridge and at night the silhouette of the castle is lit with clear lights. Boy, this a tough one!
